Summary

Existing law permits various state agencies to enter into contracts and agreements, create liabilities, and develop, own, and control the use of intellectual property developed by the state.

This bill would, notwithstanding any other law, provide that state agencies and departments may, upon request, share records and information related to intellectual property generated by state employees or with state funding with the department. This bill would also impose certain restrictions on employees and former employees of the department with respect to divulging certain information provided by state agencies and departments regarding intellectual property. This bill would provide that these provisions do not apply to intellectual property agreements administered by the Regents of the University of California or to the Trustees of the California State University, with exceptions, or to intellectual property agreements governed by the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Bond Act. The bill would also provide that certain provisions of the bill do not apply to intellectual property created by nonstate employees or without state funding, as defined, that is an expressive work, as defined.
